Abstract: Public Law 103-160 authorized the Department of Transportation to convey to public entities, surplus and excess Federal real and related personal property needed for development or operation of a port facility. The requested information is required to evaluate the need for the property. Compliance data is required on a yearly basis to determine that conveyed property is being used in accordance with the terms of the conveyance. The primary documents that are submitted to MARAD, Office of Deepwater Ports and Offshore Activities, to accomplish application review are a signed copy of the application, which includes a Port Facility Redevelopment Plan (PFRP), financial statements and a legal description of the property of interest. The application demonstrates the applicant’s acknowledgement that it will comply with the terms and conditions of the Port Conveyance Program. The PFRP is a narrative document that demonstrates the applicant’s needs for the property as well as how the applicant’s intended plans for the property and shows how the land is suitable for its intended future purposes. Additionally, financial statements are requested to show the applicant’s financial standing and outlook for the three years prior to application. Occasionally, letters of support are included with the application to provide evidence of the local community’s support for the prospective conveyance. These letters are optional and not required.
